Nothing new to contribute - though I have more boxes of books to try to get listed on eBay this evening. It is difficult sometimes - I'm tempted to keep them all to read, but I know I don't have time, so they do need to be moved out. If I decide I want to read any of these authors later I can get them from the library.

I wish I had a wood-burning stove. I'd love the hot air blowing into the house in the winter. I blocked off my fireplace with insulation two winters ago and my heating and cooling bills have been much lower since because that fireplace was poorly constructed and lets in a lot of heat in the summer and cold in the winter.
